Actaea Plants

Actaea (pronounced ak-TAY-ah) are a clumping perennial reaching 2 to 3-feet tall and displaying spiky, cream-colored, sometimes blushing pink, flower spires, or racemes, that add another 2-3-feet to the total height of the plant. Our potted Actaea plants for sale are guaranteed to arrive alive and healthy!

The 'Black Negligee' Actaea Plant bears tall, bottle-brush-like, creamy white flowers that can grow as long as 24 inches atop the sharply cut, serrated black foliage; the tip-top of each flower spire can be 5 or 6 feet tall! The leaves of this Baneberry will first emerge as a luscious emerald green before maturing to that prized purplish-black that sets off the flowers and berries so well. Also known as Black Snakeroot, the flowers carry a grapey-jasmine scent that is universally loved. * NOT AVAILABLE *
